This NewGen Facepack contains 260,000 new faces for newgens in Football Manager.

 

Newgens (sometimes called regens) are the new players that the game generates, primarily for youth intakes, but sometimes also to fill teams in playable leagues, new backroom staff and other people like members of the press and agents.

 

By default the faces associated with these players are awful. This pack fixes that.

 

The pack currently consists of:

~200,000 male player pictures across 60 different ethnicity categories
~45,000 female player pictures across 32 different ethnicity categories. Got major update with Womens Football 3 pack from June.
~18,000 staff pictures for both male and female.

 

FM26/FM24/FM23 Windows, Mac and SteamDeck/Linux Instructions

 

This is the main installation method that allows you to use the pack in its full glory. 

 

Simply follow this guide here: https://ngregens.org/fm26savereader_guide 

 

On Mac this now requires no SIP deactivation and no sudo and no other workarounds.

 

 

Lazy Install using the Bundle Replacement Method

If you are lazy and don't care too much about the faces follow these instructions. However be warned that this method is severely limited and only has 7000 male and 7000 female picture total, so you may see repeat faces on multiple profiles or incorrectly assigned skin colours and ethnicities.

 

This method should only be considered as a demo version of the actual full pack.

 

  1. Download “ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle”
  2. Place the file here:
    • Windows: \Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle'
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/Resources/Data/StreamingAssets/aa/StandaloneOSX/ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle
  3. In FM26 > Preferences > Detailed > Audio & Visual.
    • Check ✅ Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game
    • Check ✅ Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images
  4. Restart Football Manager 26

Yes, you're right.

 

Just to clarify, in case it helps: I originally set the PA filter to >= 130, but my youth players did not receive portraits. I then tried >= 100, >= 80, and >= 50, but the result was the same—none of my youth players received portraits.

 

After that, I changed the PA filter to >= 0, and my youth players finally received portraits.

 

To test further, I changed the filter again to either >= 20 or >= 10 (I can't remember exactly which one), and at that point the portraits disappeared again.

 

Finally, I set the filter to >= 5, and the portraits were assigned correctly once more.

Yes, me too. I came here seeking a solution
